    What a fantastic end to a month spent with the sixers.

    Friday night was great because I got to catch up with my college roommates and met some great new people while enjoying a fantastic show.
    Pat brought up a guy on sax (i forget his name) and Eric Kertes (i know him from playing in Josh Kelley's band) and they played a kickass version of Passion.
    As for the sixers set, I know they played Guitar & Tambourine but that's about all I remember of the setlist (and of the night haha). I was clearly intoxicated but i tried my hardest to keep myself under control, stick towards the back, and not ruin it for anyone else (because i know how much that sucks) and I think i did a fine job. But it did seem to me like everyone around me was wasted as well...guess we all just wanted to celebrate SK's birthday.

    I just want to say that we were standing behind some girls and the people in front of them left and they turned around and asked us if we wanted to go in front of them because we were shorter. that was probably the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me at a show. THANK YOU!

    Saturday, Pat had Erik with him again. They did a sweet version of "Something" by The Beatles and played Passion again by request. I really love that Pat hasn't made any setlists for this tour and just goes with whatever people want to hear. It makes it fun.
    I do remember most of what was played Saturday...Blue Jean, Cabin in the Woods, My Sweet Charade, the best version of Hearts in Pain i've ever heard them play (with SK's friend on guitar), Wagon Wheel, Blackbird, Maria...and the usuals. I was really hoping to hear something from One Night in Brooklyn...but no such luck.
    Boots' vocals sounded AMAZING. Kit made me uncomfortable again with his near-nakedness. It was great to turn around from the front and hear everyone singing along. I hope SK enjoyed his birthday at the Bowery...I know I did.

    Now I will go through withdrawals until December 26th. Eek.

    I only went to the 2nd night, but OH MY GOD it was amazing. It was probably one of my favorite shows that I've been to on this tour. It was cool for me to finally get to experience a crowd like that compared to the crowds at the lesser crowded southern shows I usually go to, so it was amazing. And the energy was GREAT, the guys sounded amazing...it was a great night! I was hoping for something from the EP, too, but oh well...it was a good set regardless!

    I went to both shows and they were absolutely amazing!! I was also really happy to see everyone getting into and knowing all the words. The guys seemed really pumped. I took my friend who hadn't really heard any of the songs before and she fell in love :)

    great pictures, Elmo.

    so i'm in a bunch of those pictures and in one I look like I'm about to cry. but i really wasn't!!

    i love the one of the crowd with the 3 guys at the mic...except Sara ruined it because she's on her phone. I know she was just trying to get her camera to work but still....it looks like she's being rude. hahaha

    and i also really like the one right above that one...
